As eulogies go, the respect posted by most of our membership is one I'd be damned proud of. Thumbs up, hats tipped ... good on you.

WoW Just got back from being away for a couple of weeks and get whack with the news of Greg's passing. I knew him personally having spent time at his place while in AZ.
While he was in Canada we had covered some of the same ground but not at the same time. Talent that Greg had is slowly being loss to the present. This kind of talent is slowly slipping away each day and is not being replaced. Sorry I wasn't able to spend more time with him. RIP Greg hopefully we will see each other on the other side. Have a safe trip my friend. To CCCC and others any thing I can do let me know.
Cheers NC

Or just maybe she died from a broken heart when she lost her master. Or vice versa

I was very sorry to hear of Crossfireopps' death. I enjoyed his posts and and among other things, his information about what was going on down at the border. Information the mainstream media never bothered to relate.
Rest In Peace.

While I disagreed with his opinion, and he mine, a time or two, there was no getting around his knowledge, skill and passion. I respected him and am saddened by his premature passing. RIP

As most of you know I lead a pretty solitaire life. Sometimes going months without anyone stopping by. I often think about my dogs dying of thirst/starvation if I were to stroke out one night.
I sure hope Gracie didn't meet her demise in such a manner.
We all have to die sometime but a dog sure doesn't deserve something like that.
On a less somber note: I think Greg was sort of the fire's version of Fred Sanford. A grumpy old bastard that could make most everything he needed from someone else's junk.

Well, Ma used to say that if you cant say something nice, shut yer gawtdamn mouth.
Did not know the man, he probably yelled at me a few times during my short time here.....I just cant recall them.
RIP
I think it says a lot about a place, or a group of people, that would take the time to check in on an internet friend or acquaintance if they have not heard from him in a while.
Pretty comforting really. I told me wife what she needs to do to keep getting my pension if I should die tomorrow. 1) Throw my body in pond 2) Logon to the 'Fire at least twice a week and post 'Blow me' in a few threads. 3) Repeat 2 for years and years. Make sure she throws in a few "your Mother is a dumb cunny" Be a damn shame to leave out your signature piece. I wouldn't want to disappoint the easily hurt twats like you.

Greg was an uncommon man with uncommon abilties. He could DO stuff, he didn't bullchit, and he was true to his word. Ain't too many left like him. that's a pretty damned good epitaph right there. That we should be so lucky.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

When I first read this thread I prayed for Greg's soul and for friends and family for strength and comforting. It's sad to lose someone even if you have never met. Today I thank my dad who passed in '86 for things he instilled in me. Some lines I don't cross because it's bad form. Thanks dad for teaching me that. RIP Greg and Gracie.

For those that don’t know:
There is an old movie- something of a classic- with Charles Bronson playing a guy in Canada who has to head for the hills one step ahead of the Law, represented by Sam Elliot, if memory serves me correctly. In one memorable scene, Bronson’s character is brought to bay in a log cabin, and the Law decides to dynamite the cabin.
It gets blown to Kingdom Come...... by our very own Greg Cameron.
The Director got a little more devastation than the script called for according to Greg.
If anyone knows that movie title, please post it here.
Greg would get a kick out of that.

I met Greg face to face at his home with his Mom.
His mom was a real sweat hart.
I can not say that Greg and I got along at all. I fact we did not.
None the less
Rest in peace Greg any pain you may have had is over.
